COMBINATION-TABLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 12, 1921.

Application filed September 22, 1920. Serial No. 411,945.

T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, FRANK GILARSKI, a citizen of Poland, residing at South Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combination-Tables, of which the following is a specification.

The main object of this invention is the provision of a table in combination with a number of chairs permanently secured to the table but adapted tobe partly collapsed for concealment underneath the table and to be again extended for use adjacent the table.

The above and other objects will become apparent in the description below, in which characters of reference r efer to like-named parts in the drawings.

Referring briefly to the drawings, Figure 1 represents my device in plan View.

Fig. 2 represents the same in side elevation.

Fig. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of my hinge support.

Referring now in detail to the drawings, the numeral 1 represents a table upon the legs 19 on which are mounted brackets 10 having upwardly extending lugs 11. Rods 3 are supported in the brackets 10 by means of angularly turned vertical pivot ends 2 having bearing in the holes 13 in the brackets. These rods are adapted to swing about the brackets on their pivots in the manner of a hinge, and are provided with shoulders 12 which are adapted to engage the lugs 11 and thus cause the rods to rise and thereby lift the chairs above the floor. Chairs 4L having backs 5 which may be folded inward about hinges 6, are slidably attached to the rods 3, by means of elongated slots 7 in the outer ends of the rods, which are engaged by stems 8 of thumb-screws 9, the latter being adjustable totighten the rod against the chair so as to prevent slipping of the latter.

Thus, referring to Fig. 2, in order to conceal the chairs the backs 5 are first folded inwardly on their hinges 6, the screws 9 are loosened, and the chairs are slid along the slots 7, and finally the chairs are turned about the brackets 10 into position shown in Figs. 1 and 2, under the table.

I claim:

1. A device of the class described comprising a frame, legs supporting said frame, brackets on said legs, vertical pins pivotally mounted in said brackets, substantially horizontal rods extending integrally from said pins, a longitudinal slot in each of said rods, a chair having a sectional hinged back, and a seat slidably secured to each of said rods, a clamp screw in said seat, said screw having engagement with said slot, said rod being adapted to be swung about said bracket, and means on said bracket for raising said rod and chair when it approaches a position under said frame, said chair back being then in a folded position.

2. A device of the class described comprising a frame, legs supporting said frame, brackets on said legs, pins pivotally mounted in said brackets, rods extending integrally from said pins at right angles thereto, a longitudinal slot in each of said rods, a chair clamping means carried thereby operatively engaging with the mentioned slot, said rod being adapted to be swung about its bracket, means on said bracket for raising said rod when it approaches a position under said frame, said means comprising a lug extending upward from said bracket, and means permitting the back of the chair to be folded and pass under said frame.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

FRANK GILARSKI.
